Candy Dust

I am baffled by the negative reviews of this fragrance. Is it crazy unique and cutting edge? No. And while yes, the brand in general markets itself to be super unique and boundary-pushing, I don't think this fragrance in particular was marketed that way. This fragrance, and the whole Eau Intimite collection for that matter, is advertised to be their more wearable collection. And frankly, I don't think its a negative thing for the house to have some fragrances that will appeal to a wider audience. Candy Dust wears close to the skin, but I do get good longevity. I can kind of see what the below reviews mean about it being a basic fruity floral scent, because it is a sweet and likable fragrance with no crazy notes that BTSO frequently includes (see Skatole in Be My Cookie). But in my collection of 40+ fragrances and having smelled most everything in Sephora, I haven't smelled anything quite like this one. The dragibus gives a sweetness that makes this more unique than the typical designer fragrances you imagine. The raspberry starts out tart and zingy but mellows out through the wear, and you are left with an airy, sugary, cotton candy fragrance for hours on end that is incredibly addictive. This one is a love for me.

Sweet raspberry marshmallows with a yogurt cream texture and soft powdery dust. There's the slightest, and I mean a pinch, of clean laundry dryer sheet in the far background but overall this is an easy going, girly scent that is sweet and light enough even for warm weather. I do think of some other affordable or designer scents out there but Candy Dust manages not to avoid being too powdery, too candy sickening sweet, too soapy clean, too sheer, and too heavy. It's the perfect interpretation. No one including myself has complained. Good price too. Wish I bought this first instead of Cuvée Skin, also from BTSO intimate line. Perfect for the clean girly girl. When it's too hot for Kilian LDBS Extreme but I crave that style of sweetness, this is the summer appropriate and less powdery version that can still be worn year round as a lighter and close-quarters alternative.

To me, this is a perfect fragrance. Some people may think it’s boring because it smells simply like expensive candy, but that’s what’s great about it. It’s so perfectly balanced the simplicity can be overlooked. A lot of people here are comparing it to cheaper brands, but this perfume has nothing unpleasant or weirdly sharp like those. This is truly a perfect candy scent. Also the longevity is great. I sprayed it on my wrist in the morning, my dog came and cuddled me and I smelled it on him all day.

I didn't love this upon first try, I honetsly quite disliked it and thought it was too sweet, too sharp and too fruity. Thankfully, I tried another day and tried on skin. From a dislike, this one became a love. it just sits so well with my skin chemistry. Like people say, the dry down is simply this gorgeous sweet/sour candy powder with a tartness to it. It is lactonic but yogurt like and it does have a faint laundry scent. I trully like this

Something I can see being my signature scent ~ goes so well with other scents to add that warm sugar vibe. Not sooo light at all! it is what it says and more, milky sweet warming, and musky !! ugh i love this smell so much, i got it in one of their set and this is one of my favorites! I can wearing right after i shower and I give off clean girl vibes, I want to buy the bigger bottle but it is rather pricey ;P Love the brand

Not crazy about the opening at first, but I really like the dry down. It's description does not resonate with me at all, definitely not a "warm gourmand". It is sweet but has a sharpness to it, so I don't think it is a good blind-buy. For some reason it reminds me a lot of the Good Girl dna, maybe just a touch sweeter and lighter.

I have the travel size in this , and definitely love this . Its etheral sweet clean. I will get a big bottle once my travel is done, and thinking this may layer well with Ari Cloud Aurora

It smells quite similar to powder love by JHAG. More powdery and less soapy compared to powder love. Yes I find powder love to be soapy. A tad bit sweeter. All in all I prefer it to powder love, airy, not too sweet. It also has a hint (maybe 5-10%) of Yara candy in it. It is a like for me. Great for layering. I do get some of the milk note in the background. It leans sour for me. It smells good upclose, but in the air it smells somewhat synthetic. Prefer it in the dry down. Not worth it, for what it costs. Should have gone for a travel size.

This is nice but nothing in here is wowing me. It’s very likable. I was surprised the alcohol is so heavy upon first spray so minus a point for that. It goes away pretty quickly. I can only really smell the pear and sugar but all the other notes seem blended pretty well to create a very likable scent. I would say it’s a safe blind buy as it’s very designer smelling. Nothing different or unique to my nose, so I won’t be buying a full bottle.

A pretty good take on the Pick 'n' Mix sour candy style fragrances. This is tooth-achingly sweet, youthful, girlie, fun and nostalgic. Easy to understand but possibly not that easy to wear unless you are a teenager. I don't think I'm the target demographic but if this is your kind of thing, it's a great example!

Surprisingly I get a designer vibe from this, I was expecting something similar do Angels powder but it’s actually a pleasant sweet pear fragrance. Nothing mind blowing but very pretty and wearable. I am shocked as BTSO has very unwearable fragrances, this is different

it smells like the packaging of candy after you eat it. slightly sweet smell but not too strong, like the aftertaste of something. airy sugar but its very pleasant for a candy gourmand

This is quite sweet, fruity. I don't really get anything milky here. It's nice, but you can get this in a body mist from Sol de Janeiro or Bath & Body Works.

It smells great, but also pretty simple. I could find the same scent at Bath and Body Works for a fraction of the price.

Not really a true candy scent but it is pretty light sweet -ish and airy. More on the powdery side.

this is very pretty fragrance. i enjoy it. but honestly, nothing screaming unique or different about it. i’m not hard to please with sweet/gourmand fragrances really, but i was a bit let down with her :( the initial smell in the air, on paper and in the first maybe 15 minutes of being on your wrist the smell is amazing. like the name says, candy! delicious and a bit laconic! but as it dries, it loses all of those notes and ends up being a simple vanilla and tonka bean. which is fine! but i own a million vanilla/tonka bean/gourmand fragrances i was hoping to find something a little more on the sweet side as it is summer. along with this, the longevity has also been nothing special. i heard good things about the longevity for this brand in another fragrance but for this one don’t look for something that will emanate, this sits very close to your skin and dries very weakly :/ a little sad about this one but a good basic on the bright side.

This fragrance is just ok. Nothing special or memorable. Someone mentioned nail salon smell & I can totally see it. I wouldn't pay top dollars for this when there are so many other sweet middle eastern fragrances that smell better & cost a fraction of this (Atheeri, I am looking at you).

I can tell there are other notes in here, but I really just smell this as nondescript "sweet." An ambiguously-scented corn syrup. It's relatively light and airy, but artificial and extremely boring. I suppose this is what people mean when they say nothing is grounding the fragrance.

It’s nice, yes, but you can get the same scent profile for much, MUCH cheaper. This has been on my Wi$h Li$t for a while and I expected something more unique because of the brand.

didnt love the drydown... its okay. smells like a real sugar powder at first, then i start to notice milkinesss and it becomes more cloying
